What in the world are you talking about?!. Your comment is very hateful. If you ever had a negative experience do not take it out on entire races. A black man who was raised by loving white family a racist..really? how is the world ever going to heal with folks like you I do not know. Lets try and think of positive things like our troops coming home, being thankful for family and living in this great country. Merry Christmas to all and peace on earth..

gregorian, please observe your right to remain silent. When you type the thoughts that are coming from your head, you appear to be a bigoted, racist, undereducated, POS. Probably saying things to get other people's ire up. You sound very unhappy here in America, move to another country that has what you want... or, stop complaining and stirring up controversy.

Right on gregorian10.........funneme you are describing obama to a t, not gregorian10! Wake Up, what does it take?????

confedkid, it takes a brain and the ability to use it. something you and gregorian lack. not your fault, just the way you were raised. btw... the confederacy is DEAD and will remain so, you lost that war, give up the old ways and enter the light.

The "progressives" are continually kicking this National Debt issue down the road to where our children and grandchildren will be left with a HUGE Bill to Pay

Humm, what a Reaganesque idea!!

ssmithlg... what is the opposite of progress? Regress. Is that what you really want to do? Regress? Do you have any idea what that would cause... no, you don't. you just spout, like a heated up tea pot. Not to mention "WE" are the children and grandchildren from Reaganomics... duh.

Concerned = ignorant!

what is "our breed?" Talk about race-tinged hate moron. And actually, the "younger generation" of which I'm a part has given up on the hopes-and-dreams b.s. of this bozo. It's simply not "cool" to be for Obama anymore, as much as the media sold it on people the first go-around.

It's also significantly less cool to carry oneself like an impolite thug.

Your "breed" is you and those like you who insist on making ignorant and baseless comments about the President. Never have I seen so many people with so little respect for the man that represents the country you claim to love so much. I'm not even American and I'm appalled by the lack of respect and civility on these comment boards.

Well said, papag. I used to crack up whenever I watched the last president (who gave tax breaks to the wealthy and therefore gave all middle class American children a future debt to pay off) freak out when he was around kids. His discomfort and confusion when around kids was palpable. This president has the self-confidence and wisdom to be perfectly comfortable around them.

Obama could have waited on his HC bill until he had made some progress on the economy but otherwise it is the GOP who have completely intentionally starved this country of jobs and further harmed the people in order to win an election when they could have worked with the potus.

Anyone who votes for one of the bozos who is running for the GOP potus will be rewarding the GOP for their horrible, selfish and just downright evil behavior.

gregorian10... "your breed" the incessantly, emotionally hate filled, fear-ers of the 'different'. The shame of this country for over 200 years, that is what you are gregorian10, 200 years of hate-filled fear, you are the epitome of ignorance. I hope your life brings you the hate you spout.

It already has brought us hate because you were stupid enough to vote in obama.

'corn'fed... proud to have voted for a man with a brain that did not almost kill this nation in 2008 and will be even prouder to vote for Obama in 2012, he is bringing this country back without the help of half of the legislature. I'll take a POTUS with a brain over a POS without one, that's why the book "Bush's Brain" was written; he used other POS's brains to almost bring down this nation. But, you and gregorian without a brain, merely spout the rhetoric you hear, you don't research history, or the present. You have no weight in this thread, just more Corn-fed BS!

You are stereotyping a whole segment of the country. And it is obvious by your statement that you have bought the Democratic mantra hook, line and sinker about the wealthy/corporations succeeding off the backs of the poor. Someone else being rich does not make you poor moron. And, news flash: The elderly segment is the fastest growing proportion of the US population. People always tend to be more Democratic when they are in their early twenties; it is only after they've gone out and had a job and gotten some real life experience that they become Republicans. It is nothing new, as you try to say with your "dying breed" comment. Half of Americans don't pay any taxes-- and many of those get basically paid by the wealthy to live here, through food stamps, welfare, Section 8 housing, medicaid, etc. Your vaunted leader Obama is himself a member of the top 1%-- probably the top one tenth of 1%. His campaign has received more Wall Street donations than any other president in American history. And it was the Democratic Congress that voted for the bailouts of Wall Street, which Obama enthusiastically supported. So, cut the crap and learn. The Democratic base relies on you uneducated, uninformed, fools.

I'm a southerner and live in Alabama. I've lived in the mid-west and on the west coast too. I find it highly ironic that the southeast, which has the lowest education in the country and the highest church attendance, is the reliable bastion of the GOP. It doesn't take a genius to figure that little riddle out now does it... Just for the record the southeast has the highest number of divorces and illegitimate children born to teenagers. Welcome to GOP central!

Fortunately, my son and other children his age (21 as of Jan 2) are waking up and realizing that those old ways of thinking are not applicable anymore.

Poor, sad and pathetic Gregorian is a wanna be, never gonna be.

Yeah, yeah, the GOP is satan. We've heard it all before. It's same type thing that Muslims in the middle east say about the US. Imagine that, someone decrying "racism" propagating hate. Hypocrite. Just remember:

1) Obama is a member of the top 1/10th or 1% 2) Rich people pay for others' food stamps, Section 8 housing and welfare 3) Obama has received more Wall Stree donations than any other president in history 4) Obama pushed for the Wall Street bailouts back in 2008/2009. 5) Somebody else being rich doesn't make you poor. If you are poor, it is of your own doing/undoing. 6) Hate is hate period, whether it is directed at someone based on race, based on income, based on age, etc. None is more legitimate than the other. 7) The race card is the first and last resort of the Democratic party. No better way than to tear the message apart right from the beginning than to ascribe discrediting labels to the bearer of the message right from the start.

1) The President worked and studied his way into the top 1% - he wasn't born into it. This is the American Dream we all aspire to. And even he says he should pay more taxes. 2). The biggest benefactors of food stamps, Sec 8 and public welfare live in GOP states. Blue states pay out more in taxes than they receive in public aid. Go figure. 4). In 2008 Obama received more donations in general from all corporations and public then any candidate in history. Disappointed with his disloyalty to the them, Wall Street has already declared they won't be donating to his campaign this time around because he didn't and won't play their game. 5). It's not about rich vs poor; never before in this country's history has there been such a large gap between those who are born into wealth and those who are born into poverty. The opportunity for success and advancement for the middle class has been squashed by layoffs, foreclosures, college loan debt etc. 6). Hate is hate. But hate motivated by color and fear is the most destructive. The implosion of the GOP just proves it.

And fyi gregorian10, Hispanics are the fastest growing demographic in the US. And or the first tie ever, non-white babies outnumber white babies being born in America. Old white people may still be the largest group of Americans today, but they vote with their social security and Medicare cards. The GOP as they exist today should change their mascot to the dinosaur; their extinction is inevitable.

I don't believe the GOP is Satan, however, I do believe this: " The only devils in this world are those running around in our own hearts and that is where all our battles should be fought." ~ Gandhi

What an adorable picture!!! Bless the little boy, his family, the President and the people of the world. Happy Christmas!!
